At Capstone Framing we couple optimum protection with timeless, sharp aesthetics that sit beautifully with your work. Quality is never compromised. We have over 15 years in the business, yet we’re continually striving to develop our skillset to offer the most versatile and premium service possible. We have a range of frames and finishes from gilded period frames and hand painted frames, to a wide range of impeccably finished hardwood frames and even fluorescent acrylic profiles. There’s the perfect choice for every eventuality. Joe has a background in Fine Art, graduating with a first-class BA (Hons) from Falmouth College of Art in 2008. After completing different residencies, exhibiting widely, including at the Liverpool Biennial and winning The Title Art Prize in 2009, it was his meticulous nature coupled with his love of art handling and conservation that led him to found Capstone Framing.

We offer framing to all 4 levels as outlined by the industry standards body The Fine Art Trade Guild, and can advise on the most appropriate level of framing for your work. These 4 levels are as follows:

• Level 1 (Museum) with a minimum target life of 35 years

• Level 2 (Conservation) with a minimum target life of 20 years

• Level 3 (Commended) with a minimum target life of 5 years

• Level 4 (Budget) with no specified target life

  It must be stressed that these Levels pertain to the protection offered to the framed work, and not the quality of work. Framing to any of these levels is carried out to the highest expected standard.

  Joe passed his Guild Certified Framers exam in June 2023, a rigorous examination that tests a framers competence and knowledge. If you want to be certain your work is being handled with the materials and care it deserves, you’re in the right place. All types of work can be framed from Fine Art to prints, photography, memorabilia, textile art, paintings on canvas and sports shirts. Whatever it is, we’re up for the challenge!
